Re: Harrogate Saturday

Who were they, the Chubby Hoofers? Lets have a sub-thread here - my own favourite in recent years is Scott Ainge but there must be others, wasn't Martin Burleagh a stocky kicker? I was thinking of the new signings we had that needed a bit of match time to get fit. Hughes springs to mind here, I can...

Re: Harrogate Saturday

In regards to Taylor, he’s the most consistent keeper we’ve had at this level aside from Loanees who’ve then gone on to play at a much higher level. Saltmer, Elliott and Maddison all far worse so I’m happy with him as first choice. I disagree - to me Adam Bartlett was better. Bartlett was a superb ...

Re: Newton Aycliffe v Darlington

I thought it was a good turn out from Darlo supporters yesterday. A nice little ground, and a warm welcome from the NA staff. To be fair NA played some good stuff yesterday, a cutting edge up front it could of been a different score line. Good luck to Atkinson and his team this season, I’m sure the...

Re: Make or break season for AA

Sure. Of course they do, and sometimes people overachieve. AA did at Blyth. But, the path to every manager who dramatically overachieves is littered with many more who dramatically underachieve. If you are going to let a safe pair of hands go (which AA certainly is at this point) you better have a ...

Re: Aaron Martin wanted from Gateshead

My understanding is that Craig is a totally committed fan like all of us and some of the comments are out of order. Seems like we were on the verge of signing Martin and he was probably told that, maybe jumped the gun a touch, and then something happened to change the outcome. Sadly for me as think...

Re: Goodbye Jack Lambert

Or is it? Gatesheed have signed two midfielders so probably one door closed for him. Whilst we know he has great skills, maybe his lack of playing time in the final months of the last season is counting against him. Any clubs really interested should have snapped him up by now. Hope he doesn’t end ...
